Default Carib bonus weird but wtf?

Why arent these guys getting their props? They are tried and trusted and although juice is a bit cantankerous what cant be disputed is that THEY PAY!

I kind of like their 50% bonus. Sure you never really see the money as its deducted the minute you cashout, but it serves as an influx of capital in which to bet from. Can anyone else here give these guys some love?? Anyone??

I'm with you. Carib is a perfectly decent book. I don't mind the sticky bonus.

Interesting. I have never used Carib. I have never really heard much postive or negative about them either.

Something should probably be done to stop EFS Caribbean coming up in Carib searches, may confuse people.

Yeah that search under CARIB gets badly muddled with all the unrelated stuff containing the word Caribbean.

Carib is just a regular book that doesn't offer anything spectacular for betting. Just the basics. But they have one of the best records out there for payouts.

Their current rating is "B" but they are very comparable to other books that have had "A" ratings based more on payout history than anything else.

VIP comes to mind. They used to be an A+ book. Their juice, limits, selection and bonuses were plain, but they were solid as a rock on payouts and that made them A+. That pretty much describes Carib.

So in that sense I could go along with armyoflovers' theory that Carib is not getting props.

good book..not great, bonus is decent, but myself I prefer a cash bonus thats mine to keep..BetJam/Greek and 5Dimes come to mind as better books. I do miss their last man standing contest and the occasional free bets though. Might wind up back their for the FB season..juice is nothing great..a solid recreational book only.

I use them and have nothing but positive things to say. The customer service is great (the memo in house messaging system is great, they respond in 2-3 minutes at most). Overall it is a great book and would recommend it to all.

I have been with them 5-6 years without a problem. I would recommend them also.............vig is standard, but there are specials to be had. They give you a small free play on numbers on your birthday & most holidays, which is nice. I hit one for 4 numbers once, nice payout. And, as Git says, they have answered the many memos i have sent almost immediately.

Carib is the best. You will never have to worry about NOT being paid. And they are quick, worth the $30.00. I am still waiting on sportsbook.com I would have pd a hundred to get my money from them...they SUCK

It's called a sticky bonus. Say you get $100 bonus. Now you can use that money to bet with but it's not your money. You can't withdraw that $100.
